I believe he's referring to the late shows in 2011 for bassnectar and pretty lights. They closed the tent up and ha ac somewhat, still hot as hell tho lol good shows
I guess we can agree to disagree. The whole back of the Boom Boom tent was completely open. Usually that would mean all that cold air, just going right out the back. (If there was HVAC in that tent, you couldn't feel it in the back half of the tent, ya know the sections with open hot air rushing in and defeating the HVAC system.)
Girl Talk, Xavier Rudd and Pretty Lights, I can recall being hot as hell in the back of the tent.....
id love to see those side screens back in the tent.

I worked for years with HVAC systems. They even make them for sports use by football teams in open stadiums. I believe the tent was pretty much closed with a couple flaps up and the front open, but I'm pretty sure they had large fans to stir the shaded space and make it feel a little more comfortable than an open tent in the summer at the beach. Some truth in the tent being cooler after an evening for the early shows.
Having said all that, my memory sucks. If a tent/stage at Hangout stuck out that much as being cooler than expected and I went back a couple times due to the cool, I'd say it was cool in there.

If they did, HOMF needs to bring that shiz back. Griz was out of control hot last year. Hopefully we see a new tent structure this year....
I mean I like Lotus but nah. Not for me. Not even close honestly.
LOL. It's my favorite band to see live these days, so I put them up in the stratosphere. But that's just me. Also, I was being facetious but I think you got that.

Have you seen Lotus in da club? Shiiiit.
Yea no way one band owns a whole festival, but I'm pretty pumped tonight. Their music improvisation is ridiculously out of control.
If they're still doing the light show from the Gilded Age tour, it's off the hook. We saw it at HoB NOLA with about 250 people, and it's the best light show I'd ever seen in that venue. Not that it matters since their music speaks for itself, but still, it was great.
I agree big time djjazzyjoe. If folks can cool athletes on a football field, they could figure out how to install some fans, chill boxes, shade, or misters to get the temp from 100 to 85. Once the sun goes down and gulf breeze cranks up, nice. Another reason I could just about park my butt, thirst and appetite at the restaurant tables overlooking the stage and hang there til the sun goes down.
I agree with Lotus being an awesome rock improv band. They would be a great add.
Musically, they're easily more talented and better than any specific act on this year's lineup. But they're still pretty much a lower mid-tier band for this festival and only a Thursday night show or Paladia evening set. They'd be Subheadliners or HL's for Bisco, Waka, Mountain, Purple Hatter's, etc. Hangout has different demographics and are is now going more for recognition over musical substance.

Misters inside the Malibu tent were awesome last year. Don't see why they can't add those to the boom boom. They should also add misters to the Hangout restaurant stage. And a couple of those sail shades would be A+.
GS and OB have banned Uber...(I think that would cause a riot in Atlanta)
Gulf Shores clarifies position related to rideshare businesses including Uber
City of Gulf Shores Mayor Robert Craft clarified the City’s position related to businesses offering ridesharing service, including popular Uber. When the City determined Uber was illegally operating without a franchise agreement or business license, a cease and desist letter was issued along with an invitation to Uber company officials to work with the City to obtain necessary licensing.
“We have expressed our desire to have their service in our community, but only after the appropriate licensing is in place” said Mayor Craft. Craft further states “the underlining demand for safety for our citizens and visitors relies on a high degree of trust in the drivers as well as their vehicles. The license and franchise agreements put in place call for driver background checks, third party vehicle inspections and proof of insurance, all to protect the public and until these criteria are met, we feel it is in the public’s best interest not to allow them to operate.”
The City of Gulf Shores Revenue Department and City Attorney are prepared to work with Uber to develop a local regulatory framework for ridesharing as quickly as possible.

We stay at a house down Fort Morgan road that is not the beach club so no shuttle. Uber or Lyft would be ideal.
If I were a local down there I would gypsy cab the shit out of that weekend.
The van service works great most weekends, like $5 one way around OBA and GS. Probably not robust enough to serve Hangout. The value of a condo next door is well worth the cost for me. After filling the fridge Wednesday, lock down and no driving til after noon Monday and can walk everywhere I wanna go. Ocean Reef is a stones throw away. Looking forward to another week on the beach, festival, and friends.
